RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Five years of experience as a research scientist at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Developed working biological models for studying ascaris infections in pigs and oxidative stress models for determining the effects of hypochlorous acid and hydrogen peroxide on adenosine and phosphorylated adenosine levels in type II pneumocytes isolated from Spraque-Dawley rats.

Two years of experience as a research scientist at Wright Patterson Air Force Base for ManTech Environmental Technology, Inc. A comparative study between tailcuff sphygmomanometry and radiotelemetric implants was utilized to access blood pressure and heart rate as physiological models in Sprague-Dawley rats. The implants were later used to model the effects of the propellant ammonium dinitramide on blood pressure and heart rate in rats.

Almost 13 years of experience at Dayton Childrens Hospital managing the Gastroenterology Research Laboratory. Most studies centered on examining the effects of E. coli infections using human carcinoma cell monolayers as models for human gastrointestinal tissues. The ability of probiotic agents to ameliorate these infections was the primary focus of these studies. Also collaborated with the EPA on developing a model for studying the effects of nigerlysin from mold on eosinophilia levels in humans.

Set up and managed a food and water testing microbiological laboratory for Microbac Laboratories in Columbus, Ohio as well as for the Gastroenterology laboratory at Childrens Dayton Hospital. Hired and managed personnel. Developed many new technologies and protocols throughout his tenure as a research scientist. Has five patents and numerous other kinds of inventions and processes. Invents “on the fly” and excels at trouble shooting processes and products. Assisted in grant funding at Childrens Dayton Hospital.

Contributed to 14 publications, presented an abstract at a toxicology conference, developed SOP’s for ManTech Environmental Technologies, Inc., and presented his Ph.D. research to a variety of academic venues.

Collaborated with a variety of technical staff including vendors of pertinent technology, statisticians, and associates both in-house and from other agencies. Served as both an in-house and external consultant (EPA).
